Subject: Compulsive liars are, and will stay, compulsive liars
Subject: Compulsive liars are, and will stay, compulsive liars
These are the reasons why I’m becoming more and more misanthropic with each passing day. Even with things like the UN Charter, there are those who still, in fact, would do anything for money and power, just like Hitler and those who really put him in office. They are the exact same people who not only put Trump in office in our country, but also ensured that they themselves and many of the highest ranking Nazi officials escaped Germany while under cover in order to ensure that they didn’t suffer the fate that they really deserved, no matter how damn gruesome it was supposed to’ve been. Archive.org is truly more than welcome to take down my review of this film for all that I bloody care. Antisemites are perfectly welcome to disagree with me too. The truth however, is the truth. It can be tightly contained, but it can’t be entirely stopped. I’m not discussing murder. I’m not discussing rape. I’m barely even discussing the love of money. I am not discussing covetousness for other mere material objects; nor whether one either refuses to work or simply can’t work. I’m not discussing whether they’re either starving to death or even obese. I don’t even want to discuss mere pride. I only want to discuss those who will take these kinds of things to not only a new level, but one that is otherwise completely unique. Just let it be known, even if you don’t want to accept it as being totally obvious, that Nazi Chancellor and Warlord Adolph Hitler, in fact, was Completely Wicked. He truly and utterly sold his salvation as well as the salvation of all who simply came to know who he was, just for might and fortune. Iniquity, after all, destroys the lives of everyone around you, not just you yourself. Willful liars do not lie because they need an advantage. They do it because they enjoy it for the undeserved attention and praise that they get from doing it.
They have absolutely no excuse for what they do; and Hitler too, had no such excuse either. They don’t do it “because it’s all they see”. In reality, they actually do it because not only do they willfully desire to suppress the goodness in others, which they really do see, but also to show that they do know how to do it.
To those who don’t know that they’re evil to begin with, they can hide this fact from them.
To those who don’t know that they exist, they hide that.
To the supposed-to-be “awake”, they have just zero difficulty in hiding the real extent of their iniquities; the fucking end.
In cheated video game high scores and speed runs, for example, the human senses absolutely cannot “detect” the “tool-induced edit”.
It is only through close examination of the audio and video with special utilities like Audacity for example, that clear signs of “digitalized doping” for lack of a better term, can be detected. And shitty video games, for example, have some “hidden” problems too.
For example, there’s no way to tell if it’s graphics are truly “shit”, unless you record yourself playing it in 144p or less. At the same time, you’ll need to record similar footage in 360-480p or above, and possibly with 50fps or greater. If the two versions have no visible difference, then that’s how you can tell that something’s clearly wrong with the animations and visuals of the game in question.
Also, when you look for “shitty music”, then, are you viewing the audio files in Audacity? Do the tunes in question repeat similar, if not the exact same, notes? If one of them does, then it’s “audio waves” will always look nearly, if not truly, identical from one verse to the next. That’s how you can tell that somethin’ ain’t right.
Again, the actual “extent of the differences” between MS/DOS Paint and “real art” can never, ever be detected with “mere viewing”. Only by “viewing” in both the worst and best of audio and visuals respectively can a true difference be spotted, if it truly exists. This is how you know whether or not “real effort” was put into whatever it is that you’re examining.
Only by viewing something made in Movie Maker in such a way can you notice. You also need to compare it with such clips made in other video editing programs too. Only then will you be able to tell whether or not there’s a problem.
On the infamous Action 52 NES multi-cart, for example, in it’s “third installment”, Illuminator... Once the “lights” go out, it’s reportedly so dark that the player can literally see their reflection in the screen if they look closely enough. And in a few of the games, the sprites are apparently so small that you need a magnifying glass in order to seem them properly. Even then, it still causes eye-strain, reportedly, after only a few seconds. That’s how one can know that there’s definitely a problem, and yet... You know what; no. Fuck it. Do the heart bleedin’ research to see WTF I mean by all of this.

Subject: War is a Farce
It seems somewhat strange that we the sheeple have not caught on to the idea that Zionist Banking Institutions make War a rich mans trick. When are you going to Ask the question why America supported a Communist ideology, YES Please tell me why American money funded a country with raw materials to build its War machine?
A trade rail route ran from USA penetrating through Canada and into Russia supplying American steel. Why so much hatred for the Germans who placed obstructive measures preventing Jewish Bolsheviks spreading its communist government to Europe. Communism is pure evil due to its Satanic spirit of unbelief and atheistic values and morals. 2019 we are under that same attempt to steal away the liberties of the people
